  2. When the server restarts, log on as Administrator and start the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.
  3. Click Microsoft Exchange Connector for POP3 Mailboxes, and then click Add/Remove to remove the original installation.NOTE: Delete the C:\Program Files\POP3 Connector folder, if this has not been removed.

You can set the correct binding order to resolve numerous network issues in SBS. Microsoft recommends that you check the binding order any time you make changes to the computer using the Network tool in Control Panel.
